Established in 1991, METALCON is the largest international event in the metal construction industry.  Unique in both its service and show management to this industry, METALCON is the only annual tradeshow and conference devoted entirely to the application of metal in industrial, institutional, light commercial and residential projects. 

Its success is based on three key components: education, exhibits and interactive, learning opportunities.  METALCON is produced by PSMJ Resources, Inc., and sponsored by the Metal Construction Association.

Globetrotter is METALCON’s Only Official Hotel Partner.

Beware of imposters! We have been informed that other companies have aggressively pursued METALCON attendees, exhibitors, partners or their companies to use their services to book guest rooms at supposedly significant discounts. Unfortunately, in the past, these have been reported as scams made through non-official housing sources.
 
If someone contacts you offering discounted hotel rooms outside of Globetrotter, they are NOT in any way affiliated with or endorsed by METALCON show management.
